By default, OVS bridges use standalone fail-mode, which means it is
configured with a single row with the NORMAL action as its OpenFlow table.
Upon system reboot, an integration bridge with many ports and such a table
could create broadcast storms and duplicate packets. That is why
ovn-controller creates the integration bridge with secure fail-mode.
Under that mode, the OpenFlow table remains empty until the controller
populates it, which could happen many seconds after the bridge is
operational. Unfortunately, the fail-mode setting was not being
done if the bridge was already created by the time ovn-controller
starts. This change fixes that and logs a warning should the fail-mode
ever needed to be corrected.
